You make me laugh, sometimes you make me cry, but most of all, you make me think. <BR/><BR/>This ten year anniversary will undoubtedly be painful for you. My own experiences have taught me that our losses travel with us; they change as we change. And so I wish all the very best in dealing with the new challenges of 2008.Ms Heathenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06404067891155971103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-84799472851735384782008-01-01T11:16:00.000-05:002008-01-01T11:16:00.000-05:00Losses are not tidy, nor do they have time limits ...Losses are not tidy, nor do they have time limits ... that's what I'm finding. I stopped treatment nearly five years ago and it's only been in the last two years that the weight of everything we'd tried really settled in ... I marvel, too, at how much it seems to permeate my life.<BR/><BR/>Instead of fighting it, I'm just going with it. The more I address the complexity of my feelings through my blog/writing the better I feel. So keep on writing, my friend, and don't be too hard on yourself. We "childfree after loss and infertility treatments" may be few and far between online now but I'm guessing it's because this medium is still fairly new. We didn't have it as a means to communicate during the very worst of it a few years ago so it's likely others in our shoes don't know it's available to them...Pamela T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11474998003921896431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-35428974273385191932008-01-01T08:25:00.000-05:002008-01-01T08:25:00.000-05:00You're certainly not "pathetic" for blogging about...You're certainly not "pathetic" for blogging about your feelings of loss. Besides helping yourself sort through your feelings, you're doing the very important job of creating empathy in the world. It's so important to have your voice present, and I'm so glad I found your blog. <BR/><BR/>Very best wishes to you for a wonderful 2008!deannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05208971949811803163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-81631078870958773382007-12-31T14:16:00.000-05:002007-12-31T14:16:00.000-05:00I for one am so glad you discovered blogging as a ...I for one am so glad you discovered blogging as a way to help process all that you have been through. I don't think it matters how long ago you lost your child, that grief is always with you and she still lives in your heart. She is part of your story and you are still telling it. And I imagine the telling helps not only you but some of the many women that pass through. And that is a true gift. Sadly we still measure our time in terms of what we've lost. But our losses need not define us, even though they are part of us. All the best to you in 2008 (I don't make resolutions either!) ~lunaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
